Childhood. The moments of innocence and genuine smiles. Adulthood. The time period of carrying out responsibilities and showcasing our talents. In between comes the teenage life. The time where everyone is either the bane of our existence, or the ultimate villain of our story. Little things tend to gain importance whereas the major things often slip out of our mind. We live on drama and talk about things we have no idea about. What for? Just to seem cool. We try to hide our pain inside our giggles and laugh. We say, who cares? And perhaps, indeed they don't. We break down. We get up. We break down again. We think it's enough. We think, it's just a game. When it's not. And ultimately, we fall. We fall, to never rise again the same. Thinking it's the end, when it's just the beginning. But even at this point, there are a few ones who make us laugh. Forget our pain. And pull us up when we loose all of our hope. We call them friends. This is a story about seven broken individuals who slowly, but surely heal. Through happiness. Pain. Friendship. It's a story about what we have lost and what we can gain. It's a story about love. It's a story about life. It's a story about living life. And living it to the fullest. Because, after all, we live only once.

In the day-to-day trenches of high school, it is almost the default-setting to believe we are the main character of our own coming-of-age story. This is not wrong. It's just ours isn't the only story there is. The jocks, the nerds, the cheerleaders, the losers, the stoners, the fangirls, the skaters. Everyone's the realest most important person in existence, all of them, at the same time, first-person narrators to their own stories, stumbling into each other's plot lines, defying the status-quo, catalysts to ups and downs. A deconstruction of all the high school tropes and cliches written over the years, a deep-dive into the psyche of students trying to finish high school while going through irrevocable self-discovery, the most improbable of connections, and the insufferable pains of growing up.
